TRANSIENT AND SMALL SIGNAL STABILITY ANALYSIS OF

13. SINGLE-MACHINE INFINITE BUS SYSTEM
AIM :
To become familiar with various aspects of the transient and small signal stability analysis of
Single-Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system.
OBJECTIVES :
(i) To understand modeling and analysis of transient and small signal stability of a SMIB power
system.
(ii) To examine the transient stability of a SMIB and determine the critical clearing time of the system
through simulation by trial and error.
(iii) To determine transient stability margin (MW) for different fault conditions.
(iv) To obtain linearised swing equation and to determine the roots of characteristic equation ,

EXERCISE :
(i) A power system comprising a thermal generating plant with four 555 MVA,
24kV, 60HZ units supplies power to an infinite bus through a transformer and two transmission
lines. The data for the system in p.u on a base of 2220 MVA, 24 kV is given below. An equivalent
generator representing the 4 units, characterized by classical model:
Xd’ = 0.3 p.u H= 3.5 MW-s/MVA Transformer : X = 0.15 p.u
Line 1 : X = 0.5 p.u Line 2 : X = 0.93 p.u
Plant operating condition: P = 0.9 p.u ; pf= 0.9(lag) ; Et = 1.0 p.u
It is proposed to examine the transient stability of the system for a three-phase-to ground fault at
the end of line 2 near H.T bus occurring at time t= 0 sec. The fault is cleared at 0.07 sec. by
simultaneous opening of the two circuit breakers at both the ends of line 2.(case1)
(a) Calculate the initial conditions necessary for the classical model of the
machine for the above pre-fault operating condition, determine the
critical clearing angle and time for the fault using “Equal Area Criterion”
and hence comment on the stability of the system for this fault.

14. SOLUTION:
Computation of stator current
It = S*
/ E * T = (0.9-j0.436) / 1.0 = 0.9- j0.436
Computation of the terminal voltage
E’
= Et + jXd’
It = 1.1305 + j0.27
Computation of infinite bus voltage
EB = Et –Jx4(i4+Ji)
X4 = Xtr + X3 = 0.47 p.u.
Ir = P / Et = 0.9 p.u.
I = -Q / E = - 0.435p.u.
Eb = 0.7933-j0.4275
Computation of angle of separation between E’
and Eb
δ = ∟E1’
- ∟Eb = 0.7282 rad
If the infinite bus is taken as reference then
E’
= 1.16 ∟41074
It = 0.99∟2.52 Et =1∟28.31
Critical clearing angle:
Cosδ = {PM(δMAX – δ0) + P3MAXcosδMAX – P2MAXcosδ0 } / { P3MAX – P2MAX}
P3MAX = Eb E’
/ (Xd’
+ Xtr + Xline-1) = 1.098
P2MAX = 0
To find δMAX :
After the fault clearance
δMAX = 180 – sin-1
(Pe / P3max) = 124.94 degree = 2.18 rad
Substituting in the above formula
Cos δc= (0.9(2.18-0.728) + 1.09 * cos124.94)/1.09
δc = 51.88 deg = 0.905 rad
To find critical clearing time:
Tc = √(2H(δc – δ0)) / Π f0 PM = 0.085s
b) Simulate the above sequence of fault occurrence and clearance using the
Software available and plot the swing curve (rotor angle versus time) as
well as the curves showing angular velocity and real power delivered by
the plant versus time
(c) Determine the critical clearing angle and time for the above fault through
trial and error method by repeating the simulation in (b) for different fault
clearing times and compare the critical clearing angle and time obtained.(case2)
Case 3:
Three-phase-to-ground fault at the mid point of line 2 occurs at t=0 sec and is
cleared at t=0.07 sec by the simultaneous opening of two breakers in line 2.
Comment on the transient stability of the system under case 2 and case 3 and
compare the severity of the faults; cases 1,2 and 3 from the point of view of
maximum rotor swing and also by comparing the clearing time margin available.

15. 3. Determine the steady-state stability margin (MW) available for the system
under the given operating condition in exercise 6.5.1. Also determine the
transient stability margin (MW) available for the operating condition given in
exercise 6.5.1. for the three cases of fault, case 1, case 2 and case 3. Can the
severity of the fault be measured using this margin?
Steady state stability margin = (Pmax – P0)* base .MW.
Pmax = EV / X = E’
Eb / X
= 1.16 * 0.9 / (0.328 + 0.3 + 0.15 )
= 1.347 M.W.
Substituting the value in the above formula
Stability margin = (1.347 – 0.9) * 2220
= 992.34 M.W.
Transient stability margin = (Pmax (stable) – P0) M.W.
4. Is proposed to examine the small-signal stability characteristics of the
system given in exercise 1. about the steady-state operating condition
following the loss of line 2; Assume the damping coefficient KD = 1.5 p.u
torque / p.u speed deviation.
(a) Write the linearized swing equation of the system. Obtain the
characteristic equation, its roots, damped frequency of oscillation in Hz,
damping ratio and undamped natural frequency. Obtain also the force-free
time response Δδ (t) for an aintial condition perturbation Δδ = 5 degree and Δω(t) = 0.
5. Repeat the small-signal stability analysis carried out using the software
package in exercise 4 with the following parameters and comment on the
relative stability of each case:
(a) KD = 0 p.u and –1.5 p.u
(b) KD = 1.5 p.u but with P = 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 p.u

controller (an integral controller) whose gain KI can be tuned.

obtain the time response ∆f for each case, critically compare these responses and comment on their
suitability for practical application.

(Hint: For choosing different values of KI, first set the governor and turbine time
constants to zero and determine analytically the value of integral gain KI,cr to have
critical damping on the response ∆f (t). Choose the range of KI to include
KI,cr as 0 ≤ KI ≤ ( KI,cr + 1.0 ) )
